If you have a baby, you clean a lot. Of course, this is not just like that, your little one can still develop his or her immune system wonderfully. However, it is important that you take this into account. So cleaning the BIBS bottle teats is a must. How exactly do you do this? Before the first use, place these natural bottles in boiling water for 5 minutes. Then you can clean the bottle teat before each use.

You do this by placing the bottle teat in a clean bowl and pouring boiling water over the teat. You can then let it soak for about 5 minutes. Then you dry it with a clean towel or you let the bottle teat dry in the air.

PLEASE NOTE - The bottle teats are not microwaveable or dishwasher safe. They are a natural product and will break easily. For hygiene and safety reasons, it is advisable to replace the bottle teat every 4-6 weeks.

This may be the first time you buy a baby bottle and therefore also a bottle teat. What size do you need - that is of course the big question ;) There are three 'sizes' of bottle teats from BIBS, and sizes are in quotation marks. Why? Because they look at milk flows. What storms are there? Read on quickly!

• A slow flow of milk
• A moderate flow of milk
• A fast flow of milk

Now every baby is unique and they have their own ways and different needs. These different needs are related to different preferences which is due to the different sucking techniques during feeding. They have already practiced this when your son or daughter was still in your belly ♡ That is why BIBS has developed different milk flows. This flow rate relates to the size of the hole(s) in the bottle teat. This part ensures that the breast milk flows more or less quickly into the mouth of your son or daughter.

Now of course the question is which milk flow best suits the needs of your son or daughter. Now every baby has a different need, but to give a kind of guideline it is useful if a kind of zero point or starting point is given.
For a Newborn it is advisable to use a low flow rate, this slows down the bottle feeding - which ensures that breastfeeding is better imitated. The milk intake is better controlled so that the babies are not completely filled with milk. Better to drink more often and small amounts. That is how nature intended it for babies, and therefore they are made for it.

Chances are your baby is breastfed, logical - that's how it's made ;) Nurse Kirsten Lise Andersen therefore advises mothers to use the BIBS bottle teat with a low dream rate. This is because babies who drink from the breast are used to having to work harder for the milk. This is because it takes more effort to suck milk from the breast than from a baby bottle. To make sure that the milk flow mimics the breast, ensures that your baby does not become 'lazy' or even refuse the breast. Because you definitely do not want that!

It takes an average of 15-2 minutes for a baby to empty a baby bottle of breast milk. If it goes faster, the milk flow is too fast.

Signs that the flow is too slow:

• Your son or daughter becomes impatient or irritable while drinking
• It takes longer than 15 to 20 minutes to empty a baby bottle
• The baby falls asleep during the meal (so not at the end, with a full tummy)

Signs that the flow is too high:

• Your son or daughter slurps while drinking
• Your baby is coughing
• Your baby chokes while drinking
• Your son or daughter is swallowing too much air
